OMAE Gallery warmly invites you to an exhibition that celebrates the quiet elegance and profound symbolism of the Korean moon jar, reimagined through the traditional lacquer technique of geonchil.

Geonchil is a sculptural lacquer craft that builds form not on a wooden frame, but by layering hemp or ramie over a base and shaping it through repeated applications of lacquer. In this exhibition, the moon jar—a timeless icon of Korean identity—is reborn. Its organic, asymmetrical form holds the warmth and generosity of the Korean spirit, while its rounded shape radiates harmony, balance, and understated beauty.

Through the hands of master artisan Daehyun Son, the moon jar is reinterpreted with a unique sculptural sensitivity. His refined aesthetic vision adds depth, transparency, and grace to the traditional form, maintaining its full-bodied curves while illuminating it with a contemporary perspective. This is a rare opportunity to witness the union of ancient material, spiritual form, and modern craftsmanship.
